Blackman Township murder suspect located by police

The suspect in a homicide that occurred October 21 on the 1400 block of Longfellow Ave in Blackman Township has been located by police.

Friday morning, a 911 call from the Prospect Street Advanced Auto Parts reported a vehicle in their parking lot that matched the description of 31 year-old suspect Lance Hines.

Police had previously asked the public for help locating Hines with photographs of him and his vehicle, a Toyota Prius.

Numerous law enforcement agencies responded to the scene.

The vehicle’s windows were covered from the inside when police arrived. A negotiator was unable to convince anyone inside to exit.

After hearing a gunshot inside the car, police forced entry through the passenger window and found Hines with a self-inflicted wound.

Officers administered aid at the scene before sending him to Henry Ford Allegiance.

The situation remains under investigation.
